Difference between USA and Europe

[zweebe]

Hello Reefers!

Firstly, Merry Christmas to everyone!

So... Since a lot of time, I was wondering why we can't get awesome corals species like in the US! So I never really try to find answers to it until now!

If it's because US Corals are only Aquacultured or because there is species from Caribsea that we can't import from Europe? Or anythelse else?

There are just a few shop across Europe with Aquacultured corals, others are mainly from Marine cultured or wild!

Thank you for this discussion

I'm not really sure but I'd guess it's something to do with import laws and the laws possibly keeping personal business from growing and selling to the public. Seems most things end up because of political thoughts and laws for or against them.

My guess would be the same as above. I know in Florda we have a whole division of government called the department of Agriculture and the Florida Fish and Wildlife that over sees all saltwater/freshwater related activities and business.
